Saving Some Summer

Yesterday we went blueberry picking, then purchased a basket of South Carolina peaches and Washington State cherries at the local produce stand. Today we went to the Farmer’s Market in Sylva and got some fresh edamame and homemade mozzarella cheese. All of those have made it into the freezer for a little bit of summer sunshine in the middle of winter. Just think of Peach Pie on Pi Day! And for more immediate consumption we came home with locally grown lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, sausage, bratwurst, pork chops, and eggs from heritage breed chickens! Truth to tell some of the fruit is also for immediate consumption. Have we ever mentioned that one of the things we love about Jackson County is the easy availability of tasty local foods?
